Eco Patio Q&A

Are moth balls eco friendly or "green"?

My neighbor has a soft spot for homeless cats. At times he feeds ( no kidding) 25-30. The cats change, but his care does not. He feeds them, but he can not ( he just can not afford) to vaccinate, spay or neuter them. There is always an abundance of cats in the area.

While , I do not wish to dismiss his kindheartedness, the cats soil everywhere! They are in the roses, the garden, our walk ways, and Heaven forbid, we leave our car windows down!

I have been dispensing moth balls by the dozens to discourage them from my garden, my patio and my car.

Are moth balls, considered to be green, eco friendly or natural?

To answer your question realistically ...no mothballs are far far from green. They are horrible to the environment and any animals that come in contact with them...there are also studies suggested they contain carcinogens...which promotes cancer...please dispose of them properly, and find eco-friendly ways to keep the cats out of your yard.

On another topic, suggest your neighbor gets in touch with a charity that will help him spay and neuter they have programs where they will spay them and release them...its not good for him or the cats to live like that

Eco-friendly replacement for concrete patio?

According to "It's not easy being green" on the BBC, ripping up and re-installing a concrete patio is one of the worst things you could do.

As I am hoping to buy a flat that has a crumbling concrete patio, what are my options?

p.s. please don't bother answering if you have no idea!

instead of destroying the concrete entirely, you could just cut wide channels into the concrete to create slabs that you can remove and stack, then re-level the patio area, replace the slabs then use brick to fill in the gaps for a decorative look.

For squares that are unusable, you can fill in with brick or stone or cast new slabs.

Minimizes wasted concrete, although cutting and jackhammering the channels will be more expensive and time-consuming than just jackhammering the entire patio.

Otherwise, just get rid of the concrete and go with brick - the regular pattern looks nicer, will last longer than wood, and can be repaired easily. And cheaper than recycled plastic planks.

Whatever you decide, get some quotes and make sure the contractors will dispose of properly or even greenly.

Good luck!
